    Fortunately, Yang Zhen won the bet. He not only stole seven Type 97 heavy bombers, but also twelve Type 97 fighter jets from the Japanese army.  Although the performance of the last five aircraft is far inferior to that of the American-made transport aircraft, it is better than nothing.

    They ruthlessly destroyed the Kwantung Army Aviation Group, as well as the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and used newly manufactured napalm bombs to completely destroy the two Yongbi Airports and the more than 300 aircraft stored there.

    Standing in front of the mountains of plane wreckage at Mudanjiang Hailang Airport, smelling the barbecue smell of burning human flesh in the air, compared to the other accompanying officers who were vomiting, the livid and silent Namada Shigeichi  , and what Yang Zhen, the planner of this battle, didn¡¯t know.

    This battle that Yang Zhen planned and actively promoted was kept strictly confidential because Yang Zhen did not want this combat method to be leaked. The Japanese military side had all the parties involved killed, and Lieutenant General Shigeichi Hatada knew the truth.  He felt that this battle was too embarrassing for the imperial army, so he issued a hush-hush order immediately. Later, several people who knew about it were sent to the front line and died one after another to cover up this battle that greatly embarrassed themselves.

    Since both sides of our story were kept strictly confidential at that time, it was kept secret until more than ten years later, when the published history of the Anti-Japanese Alliance was leaked, which not only solved what was later called the top ten mysteries in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War,  One of the mysteries, the mystery of the Kwantung Army's aviation losses, has also been regarded as a classic battle by several major powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union, and has been written into the textbooks of military academies.

    After this battle, because several of his divisions were beaten to the point of almost annihilation, he was ordered to retire from active service by the Japanese base camp. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he was extradited by the Chinese government and spent more than ten years in the Chinese War Criminals Management Institute.  After his labor reform career, Namada Shigeichi has reached his final years.

    After seeing this battle published in the newspaper, I could only shake my head and say nothing, and sighed to my old subordinate Ryuichi Hashimoto, who was also his illegitimate son: "The Japanese have only scratched the surface of Sun Tzu's Art of War and can only play games."  Those little tricks that can't be put into the elegant hall, the real conspiracy, the old opponent from back then is everyone."

    "When the empire first emerged, it failed to do its best to destroy it, and made repeated mistakes in judgment to make it bigger. This was the empire's biggest mistake. The Kwantung Army's underestimation of the enemy not only ruined the good situation in Manchuria, but also ruined it.  Create a strong opponent for yourself.¡±

    At almost the same time that Botian Zhongyi went to Mudanjiang Airport for inspection, Yang Zhen was standing on the edge of the Jiamusi Airport runway waiting for the results. His heart was in suspense until all the planes involved in the operation landed safely at Jiamusi North Airport.  Let go completely.

    Looking at the more than 20 Japanese fighter jets, heavy bombers and transport aircraft neatly arranged in front of him, after listening to the report, Yang Zhen was quite satisfied with Li Mingrui, who personally led the team, and Yuan Bin, who has now been promoted to the political commissar of the aviation division, and said: "  You have made great contributions to ensuring the victory of this battle. The entire army should thank you for everything you have done to ensure the victory of this battle. The headquarters gives you a collective commendation. "

    After hearing Yang Zhen's praise, Yuan Bin and Li Mingrui said with some embarrassment: "No. 1, this is what we should do. Although we still have the strength to defeat the Japanese aviation force face to face in a real air battle, but  Cooperating with the headquarters¡¯ plan, we can still do it.¡±

    "Besides, No. 1, getting so many aircraft at once this time can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient strength of our air power, especially bombers, especially these Type 97 fighter jets, which have been refitted in Jiangbei and formed combat effectiveness.  Previously, it could fill the gap of our lack of air power. On the 1st, can these aircraft be given to us? "

    Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "These heavy bombers, fighter jets, and transport aircraft can all be given to you, but one thing is that you must remember that all of these aircraft should not be incorporated into combat units. Select the best-performing aircraft from this batch.  Leave them behind to form an imaginary enemy squadron, directly under your aviation force, specifically used as a training partner for our pilots."

    "Lao Yuan, look at our first batch of pilots who have completed basic flight training, but have not participated in real combat. They are still unfamiliar with these two types of Japanese aircraft. This time I took out these two 97s.  Type fighter aircraft is to allow comrades to understand the performance of such aircraft and find out their weaknesses so that they can better deal with them in air combat. "

    When Yuan Bin heard that Yang Zhen disagreed with the integration of all the bombers and fighter jets that the troops urgently needed into combat units, he was slightly startled, and then was confused by Yang Zhen's new term: "Imaginary enemy squadron, this is  What kind of army, No. 1, do you have any new ideas?¡±

    Looking at Yuan Bin, he didn¡¯t understand what he meant.?, Yang Zhen smiled and explained in more detail: "The so-called imaginary enemy squadron means that this squadron uses all Japanese fighter jets, and all specifications are implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Japanese aviation force, and strictly follow the Japanese tactical requirements.  as daily training.¡±

    "To put it bluntly, we use the fighter jets and even bombers given to us by this imaginary enemy squadron as aerial training partners. We will use these Japanese fighter jets to engage in aerial combat with our military pilots, so that our military can become familiar with the performance of this aircraft in the shortest possible time.  Well, find out the weaknesses of this fighter."

    "For example, how can you bite the opponent in an air battle, where to greet them when firing so that you can shoot them down the fastest? If the performance of the aircraft you use is not as good as the Japanese aircraft, what kind of fighters should we obtain in the air battle to shoot them down and save ourselves?  , this is the so-called imaginary enemy squadron.¡±

    At this point, Yang Zhen looked at Yuan Bin who looked reluctant to know that these planes could not participate in the war. He knew that these old people who were used to living a hard life would take out several planes at once and use them exclusively for training.  There must be some reluctance, so he smiled and said: "Lao Yuan, don't be too petty. Look at the problem from a longer-term perspective."

    "These aircraft are all standard fighter jets of the Japanese army. We cannot use them as main fighter jets. One is the problem of spare parts, which we cannot solve. The other is that it is easy to cause chaos on the battlefield. Most of our pilots do not have real  Air combat experience, if you find that there are Japanese aircraft in your fleet, you might start fighting each other again. "

    "The most important thing is to allow our pilots to master the performance of the current main fighter of the Japanese army as soon as possible, which will help their survivability on the battlefield. Jiangbei has begun to deliver US-made fighter jets one after another, and has begun training.  There are more than three hundred fighter jets, which are enough for you, so don¡¯t worry about these planes.¡±

    "As commanders, we can just use the equipment in front of us, but we must have a long-term vision, and we must not be too eager for success. I also know that you are anxious when you see the ground troops in a hard fight, but an air force with strong combat effectiveness is definitely not a single force.  It can be built with passion.¡±

    "There is a famous saying in Western countries: five years of army, ten years of air force, and one hundred years of navy. I agree with this sentence very much. The more advanced and technologically complex the military service is, the more time it takes to take shape.  Building an efficient and combat-effective air force cannot be achieved in a short period of time. Don't rush for success. You still have to eat in one bite.

    "Now that we have solved the problem of equipment availability, now we should also solve the problem of how to let our rookies survive in air battles more, instead of being shot down by others as soon as they fly into the sky. Don't forget, you are our air force.  The hope and seeds, if all the seeds are dug up, who will I ask for the harvest?¡±

    "You pick the two best planes and send them to our army's aviation training base in Jiangbei for the pilots there to conduct hostile training. You will keep two of the remaining ones here, and the rest will be incorporated into the aviation combat unit. Remember,  This imaginary enemy squadron must select the best pilots who can give full play to the performance of these aircraft. It is best to select some of the seeds you are prepared to use as instructors. "

    The war on the front line was urgent, so Yang Zhen naturally would not stay in Jiamusi for too long. The final destination of these aviation troops was not Jiamusi, an airport too close to the Japanese front line, but a newly built top-secret Yongbei Airport in Luobei.  After walking away from the airmen who landed to refuel midway, Yang Zhen hurriedly returned to the front line.

    The 18th and 50th regiments of the 29th Division attacking northward have been reinforced by two squadrons of the Third Battalion and the First Battalion, as well as the artillery section of the division. They have already completed the attack on the Sixth Army in the southwest area of ??Boli.  The eastward detachment of the division was completely wiped out. In order to cover the strategic intention of the 1st and 5th brigades to conceal their eastward advance, especially the Dukaishan flanks of the eastward advance, the troops of the 2nd brigade heading south to the junction of Boli and Ning'an were encountered, and  Start a fierce battle.

    Now that there is no threat from Japanese aviation, the troops can move and deploy much more freely than before. They no longer have to worry about the Japanese planes hovering overhead all day long to detect and reveal their whereabouts, nor do they have to worry about Japanese planes attacking the marching group.  Carry out indiscriminate bombing and cause unnecessary losses.

    The progress of the three detachments in encircling and annihilating the embankment was faster than expected after the first brigade joined in after cleaning up the southern battlefield of Yilan, but the number of casualties was also much greater than expected. In the previous battle, although the second brigade was tightly entangled  The Sixth Division advanced eastward to the detachment and inflicted heavy casualties on it, but it still lacked the confidence to eat this strengthened unit in one go.

    After receiving a telegram from the division headquarters to immediately withdraw west to reinforce the main force of the division, Tsuboda Wenping fought hard. Although he could not get rid of the entanglement of the second brigade and was unable to reach the division headquarters, he immediately retreated to reinforce the division.?Requirements.

    However, with its tenacious will and fierce style, they started an offensive battle with the Second Brigade. After several days of fierce fighting, although the eastward detachment was weakened, it was no better than the Second Brigade, which suffered both losses and losses.  Go, three regiments suffered one-third casualties and their vitality was also damaged.
